473mL can, pours a clear golden orange with a small white head. Nose is full of orange rinds, piney hops, some resins, and biscuity malt to back. Flavour is bitter, with plenty of piney hops, resins, orange peel, and biscuity malt to back. Vibrant and super clean. Excellent.

Deep amber colour, with a thin head. Malts are biscuity, somewhat toffeeish, alongside herbaceous hops, and a bit toasty. Well-balanced. Pretty hoppy for something not billed as Red IPA. Nice work.

473mL can, pours a clear amber with a small beige head. Aroma has plenty of fresh resinous hops, light pine, and dry bready malt. Flavour is pretty assertive on the resinous hops, bitter woody pine, and a dry, soft bready malt base. Drinks more like a red IPA with that aggressive C-hop character. Excellent.

473mL can. Pours clear amber with a white head. Warm bready malts and sharp, resinous pine on the nose. Flavour has a great bready malt base with loads of piney and resinous hops. Tastes more like a red IPA than an amber ale. Fantastic.

This has a pale malt character, moderate bitterness. The hop character comes together - not a lot of individualistic elements...some apple/pear stuff and then maybe a bit of grape. Balanced, though I'd prefer more bitterness.

473mL can, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma is surprisingly dank, with lots of bright tangy vinous hops, and a touch of musty white grape skins. Flavour is quite bitter, with melony hops, lots of hop tang, white wine grape must, and finishing dry and bitter. Excellent.

473mL can. Pours hazy pale gold with a white head. Tons of dankness and some deep Nelson on the nose. Flavour has less prominent dankness, though still there in the mix, good tangy Nelson expression, and a dry musty white wine character. This comes together very well, a great combination of grape must and hops.

16 oz. can, pours a clear blonde with a medium white head. Nose is moderately dank, with plenty of tangy hops, bright melon, and some bitter pine. Flavour bursts with melony and other tropical fruity hops, some white wine tang, moderate pine, and a hint of dankness. Great expression of the Mosaic and Motueka in particular. Wonderfully balanced, finishing tangy and only lightly bitter. Excellent.
